David Moyes: RVP's desire to stay with Man Utd won't help attract new players

WARCHEST: David Moyes is hoping to make changes during the summer months at Manchester United [GETTY]

Moyes revealed he's busy preparing for the summer months, at a time when he'll be looking to strengthen the United squad, who look destined to miss out on Champions League football.

Van Persie has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford following rumours that he was disgruntled with life under Moyes, but moved to quash such talk last night, insisting he was content at United.

"It's nice of Robin (to say he is happy to stay)," Moyes said.

"He is happy here and we are very pleased about that.

"He has a couple of years to go on his contract and I am sure that (an extension) is something the board will look at."

“I don’t think Robin saying that makes it any more of an attractive proposition for players”

It's understood Moyes will have a sizable warchest for his planned summer transfers, but has rejected the idea that Van Persie staying with the club will help encourage others to join.

"I don’t think Robin saying that makes it any more of an attractive proposition for players," Moyes said.

"It just tells you that people have tried to find reasons why things haven't gone as well for us.

"A lot were saying that was down to Robin van Persie or the manager but I always said that wasn't the case and hopefully now you have heard it from Robin as well."
